Riding
Before using your scooter, make sure to visually inspect it for any signs of
damage or loose parts or screws. Every scooter is individually tested before
shipping from the factory, but we recognize that it has travelled far and in
rare cases, it can get damaged during transport. If something does not feel
or look right, reach out to fluidfreeride.
Always wear protective gear such as helmet, knee and elbow pads.
Start slowly to familiarize yourself with the behavior of your scooter. Press
the throttle gently for a slow take off. Always slow down when riding over
bumps or on rough or wet road conditions. The faster you ride your
scooter, the longer it will take you to stop.
• Ensure you have sufficient runway ahead of you. Do not use the
scooter indoors.
• Put both of your hands on the handlebar.
• Step with one foot on the scooter, kick it lightly with your other foot to
bring it slightly in motion.
• Step with your second foot onto the board, hold on tight and push the
accelerator gently.
Braking
Your scooter is equipped with an electric brake, a rear drum brake and a
rear step on brake. It is up to you which one you prefer using.
To slow down during normal operations, release the throttle and press the
electric brake lever lightly. The more you press this lever, the harder you
will brake. The slower you are, the more responsive the electric brake will
be. At higher speeds, this brake is less effective.
The drum brake is operated by pulling front brake lever while the rear step
on brake is operated with your foot, simply stepping onto the mudguard,
and pushing it down towards the rear tire.
At higher speeds, and in emergency brake situations we recommend you
press both the electric brake lever, and you pull the drum brake lever.
The scooter is also equipped with a regenerative braking system.
Whenever you use the electric brake lever, the controller will use the

14
electric front motor to brake which at the same time recovers energy to
charge your battery and extend your range.
Speed Limit Setting
Your scooter is equipped with 5 speed modes that can be set depending on
your desired speed limit. L4 is set by default.
1. Turn the scooter off. Press the electric brake lever and hold during
the entire operation.
2. Turn the scooter on. The display will show “SET” and L1,2,3,4, or 5.
3. Press the settings button to switch between the different speed
limit levels:
L1 = 5mph, L2 = 10mph, L3 = 16mph, L4 = 24 mph, L5 = no limit
4. Release the brake lever to complete operation.
Advanced Settings
Your scooter allows for advanced settings. Experienced riders only!
To configure advanced settings, follow these steps:
1. Turn the scooter on. Press the electric brake lever and hold during
the entire operation.
2. Press the power button. P0 will show in the display
3. Press the light or settings button to cycle through the P-setting
functions.
4. To select a P-setting for configuration, press the power button until
you hear a beep.
5. Change the P-setting with the light or settings button.
6. To save your setting, release the electric brake lever.
P0 – Non-Zero Start (turned ON by default – P0 = 1):
If it is turned ON, you must bring the scooter into motion before the
throttle will work. If turned OFF, you can start the scooter from “zero”,
without being in motion.
WARNING: Non-Zero Start turned ON is an important safety function so
you do not accidentally hit the throttle while you are not riding. Turn
this off at your own risk.
P1 – EBS (set to P1=5 by default):

15
This setting sets the intensity of the electric brake. You can choose from
0 (lowest electric braking strength) to 5 (highest electric braking
strength).
P2 – Motor Lock (off by default – P2=0):
Turn this on if you would like to lock the front motor so that you cannot
move or operate the scooter without picking it up.
P3 – Cruise Control (off by default – P3 =0):
If turned on, once you maintain a speed for 5 seconds, your scooter will
automatically hold this speed, even if you let go of the throttle. You can
easily deactivate the cruise control speed by pressing the throttle or the
electric brake lever.
WARNING: Only use cruise control once you are fully mastering riding
the scooter. It can be surprising if the scooter does not slow down
when you release the throttle.
Switch from miles to kilometers
By default, the scooter is set to show miles and Fahrenheit. You can
switch the display to kilometers and Celsius instead: Turn the scooter on,
Press and hold the electric brake lever, then press the settings button.
Release the brake lever.
Battery Charge Indicator
There are five battery bars and a charge percentage on the display. As the
battery is drained, the bars will diminish, and the percentage value will
reduce. Keep an eye on your charge to ensure you do not get stranded.
Note that if you request a lot of power (e.g. by riding uphill), the battery
charge indicator may fluctuate downwards due to temporary voltage
reduction when the motor needs more power.
When you turn on the scooter you will see the current battery voltage
displayed in the lower right corner of the display. A fully charged battery
shows >54V.

CHARGING AND BATTERY SAFETY
Charging the fluid Mosquito
Charge your scooter before its first use.
1. Turn your scooter off
2. Connect the charger to the wall power outlet
3. Locate the charging port
4. Open the charging port cover
5. Connect the charger to the scooter.
The LED on the charger will turn red while charging and turn green when
the scooter is ready for use. Remove the charger and cover the charging
port. Charging time with the included charger will be around 5 hours when
the scooter is empty.
Battery Maintenance and Storage
• We recommend charging your scooter after every use. This is not
required.
• A lithium-ion battery is a consumable device. Please replace it with a
new battery once capacity drops below 50% of what you experienced
initially. Contact fluidfreeride for a replacement.
• Make sure the battery is charged and that the scooter is turned off
before storing your scooter for extended periods at a time.
• Store your scooter indoors in a dry and cool place over 32°F (0°C) and
under 104°F (40°C). Do not keep it outdoors or in outdoor sheds for
extended periods of time as excessive cold, heat, sunlight, rain, or
other environmental conditions may damage the enclosure materials,
impact safe operation, and reduce the scooter’s lifespan.
• Charge your battery at minimum every 3 months to prevent it from
running completely empty. Once the battery runs completely empty
due to slow discharge while in storage, it may have to be replaced.
• Batteries perform poorly at low temperatures. For instance, if the
temperature is around 0°F (-18°C), battery capacity reduces by 50%.
Capacity will restore to normal when temperatures rise.

17
• Battery life and riding ranges will vary depending on usage, climate,
conditions, rider weight, and/or riding style, proper care, and
maintenance.
Battery Disposal
• Do not dispose of your battery by way of landfilling, incineration, or
household trash.
• We recommend disposing through a local recycling program suitable
for lithium-ion batteries. Contact your local waste management
service for more information.
• Mishandling of used batteries may do tremendous harm to the
environment. You must abide by local laws and regulations to
properly dispose of used batteries and assume all liabilities resulting
therefrom.
Charging and Battery Safety Warnings
• Use caution when using outlets to prevent electric shock.
• Do not leave the charger plugged in for extended periods (>24 hours).
• Only charge your scooter in a safe, clean, and dry environment. Keep
the charger and scooter away from inflammable materials as they may
get hot.
• Only use the original battery packs and the original charger supplied
with your electric scooter. Contact fluidfreeride if you need a
replacement. Use of other models or brands may not be safe and is
not recommended.
• Do not touch any part of the charging prongs and keep them away
from metal objects to prevent short circuit which may result in battery
damage or physical injuries and death.
• Do not place the battery in direct contact with heat or near high
temperatures. Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight. Do not
leave the scooter in a car where the battery might get hot.
• Do not pierce the battery with sharp objects. Do not subject it to
impact or force.

18
• Stop charging if the battery fails to recharge within the approximate
charging time. This will prevent the battery from overheating,
rupturing, or igniting.
• Do not charge the battery in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or above
104°F (40°C) as this can hamper performance, result in breaking,
overheating, rupturing, or igniting and could cause personal injury or
property damage.
• Do not charge your scooter if the charging port on the scooter is
damaged or wet. Do not charge if there is excessive heat, odor or
leakage coming from the battery or it looks abnormal in any way.
• If the battery leaks and you accidentally get in touch with the liquid,
rinse thoroughly with water and then seek medical care.
• Never attempt to disassemble, modify, or perform repairs or
maintenance on the battery. You run the risk of damaging the
protective and safety components that prevent incidents, personal
injury, or property damage. Professionals only!
• Mishandling or misuse of the battery can result in lower performance,
shorter lifespan, rupturing, igniting, or other incidents and could
increase the risk of serious personal injury.
• Do not discharge the battery using any other product than the scooter
it comes with. Doing so could result in damage to the other product or
the battery and reduced lifespan. The battery could overheat, rupture,
or ignite and cause personal injury or property damage.

19
SCOOTER MAINTENANCE & TRANSPORT
